Actor's Strike

"Filmmakers are reluctant to launch any production that cannot be completed before the expiration of the Screen Actors Guild's major film and TV contract on June 30 -- a date being treated as the union's de facto strike deadline."

What's more annoying about this strike is that actors of the caliber of Tom Hanks, Robert DeNiro and Meryl Streep are asking the SAG leaders to start negotiations early to avoid a strike, and the leaders are saying that it's too soon for that. Seriously??? I hope it doesn't affect the TV shows again. And will this mean NINE won't be starting production any time soon?

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

No good can possibly come from using this vast wasteland of error and deliberate deceit. You should get off of it and warn others away. You should make sure your children and grandchildren know what a corrupt and morally bankrupt institution it truly is.

Trust me, the actors do not want a strike. The industry hasn't even begun to recover from the writers' strike. Actors like to work - they've chosen this career for love. They're hungry now - creatively as well as financially.

No one wants the actors to strike either. My ex is a film accountant and he worked all through the WGA strike, thank God, but he told me the strike that would leave him jobless for a while would be the SGA strike. I really hope the leaders start negotiations way before any strike occurs.
